The Senate is considering ratification of a new nuclear weapons treaty, called New START, signed a year ago by President Barack Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia, but a Senate committee has delayed a vote until September. Ratification approval requires two-thirds approval,which means at least eight Republicans must vote for the pact.
The treaty bars the United States and Russia from deploying more than 1,550 strategic warheads and 70 launchers each.
